Decameron Baru

Beautiful and clean location, but I would advise getting the safety deposit box if you select to stay at this resort. There was music throughout the day which I liked. There were several blackouts per day although only lasting a few minutes at best. The low flow commodes were an issue especially at night when the water pressure was so low you couldn't wash your hands. Staff was friendly but I would not suggest exchanging currency for them. All and all, I had a great time because I will make the best of most situations but I couldn't recommend the resort to anyone.

To get to hotel was a trek as the road from the main artery was not paved. The room was at best average, the kind of room that you will find n a motel 6 but clean. White sand beaches and the warm water was very good. The entertainment was on point as the focus was on the world cup of soccer. The front desk was not too helpful as there was limited English speaking and even when the information was given in Spanish it was not accurate. The food at the buffet was ok and the theme dinning was at best mediocre.

The only great thing was the entertainment. Room at best average. It was like a motel 6 room, clean but uncomfortable. The food at the buffet was ok but at the restaurants below average. Pool and beach of, weather almost perfect. English was not spoken by anybody at the front desk

this would be a prelude; great to experience resort before it gets commercialized by the western standards.. pros: food - natural beaches - beautiful hotel - good shape area- beautiful nature- parrots and other "wild animals" on the beach and in mangrives empty pools -all southamericans are on the beach ;) cons- no english virtually for full 8 days limited food choices service is a reminscences of the post communist block developing country - playa blanca - big dumpster behind the beach - jet ski polluting hotel waters locals hassling for money,no prices on any item.. prices 10x the actual value drinks - limited foreign drinks outdated food and check in system - all on paper dated room interior and outside - needs some renovations - atual 3.5 star is adquate for US standards beah is too small - need to book beach chairs around 6 AM; otherwise you get stuck between "locals" ;) this resort with a decent amount of hardwork could be a perfect match for US customers in 5 years.
